Just changed the Fork Oil on the Ho Bag, Well changed the oil might be a tad misleading... Put oil in the forks is probally more of an accurate statement. I was shocked at the small amount of treacle that dribbled out... At least there was something in there though. But WOW what a difference now, I actually have front suspension now.

Also Glad I took the time to do a bit of PM, noticed one of the calipers was sticking on the guide pins and had caused abnormal wear on the Pads... caught it in time to prevent damage to the disk.

Off for a ride to Palmy later today, cant wait to see how it feels on the Pie Cock hehehehehe

Yes, very soft, just a look at the front brake was enough to send it nose down, Riding through the Pie Cock hill on my way to Linton on Sunday was fantastic.... What I thought before was shit tyres, was at least half suspension problems because the difference is really noticable, and better braking now both calipers work.

All our hyo 250's have been absurdly hard.
